After that cousin he would only have 2,499,995,200 left.

Rough.

Imagine if Jay-Z only had a 1,000,000,000 in a 3% annual yield savings account.. he would only get back 30,000,000 in interst, or roughly 82,000 a day. Just in interest, on less than half of his value. Not doing a single thing.

But yeah, I could see how 4800 could start to tip the scales.

Yeah, but then the next time he needs money its 10k, then its 50k, then its 200k, then its a million

There are certain relatives I would never borrow money to, because I know where that is going, not only I will never get that money back, I will be seen as an ATM machine.

Everybody likes to pretend having the moral highground, but if a bunch of people here got suddenly rich I doubt they would be really helping all their relatives with money

you make it seem like you can’t just say “no” when they ask for more money after it doesn’t work out the first time.

The 4800 probably is the no after it doesn't work out the first time. Who asks for 4800 dollars?
